I collect all my paper and cardboard and tear it into one-inch chunks while I'm watching TV. I hate to waste anything, even brain cells (grin!).
I place a bed of about six inches of dampened cardboard chips in the bin or pail, cover it with soil, then start adding layers of vegetable scraps and soil with the red worms.
I have found that paper screwed into a ball does not digest as well as paper torn into shreds. I suspect that the balled paper contains too much air for worms to navigate.
